Kelsey Grammer introduces estranged wife to new fiance

Kelsey Grammer endured an “uncomfortable” family gathering on Thursday as he introduced his estranged wife to his new fiancee.

The actor split from his wife of 13 years, Camille, last summer and is now engaged to marry his new girlfriend Kayte Walsh.

Grammer is currently battling his estranged spouse in court as he seeks to have the marriage dissolved quickly so he can exchange vows with Walsh. Camille has asked for his request to be denied until they reach an official divorce settlement.

The former couple are trying to put their legal woes behind them this week for the sake of their kids, with Grammer introducing Camille to Walsh for the first time.

Camille admits the meeting was frosty at first, but she eventually warmed to her former partner’s new love.

She tells Popeater.com, “I saw Kelsey and I met Kayte for the first time. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but then I met her and I shook her hand and I looked into her eyes and I thought, ‘She’s OK, she’s nice.’ … It’s really important for me and Kelsey to be friends and amicable for our children’s sake. Because you know, we have to co-parent and that’s the correct way to do it.”

Grammer and Camille are parents to two children, while the actor has two other kids from previous relationships.

Camille also has denied she meant anything by her recent comments on Howard Stern’s radio show about Kelsey liking to dress in drag, claiming it’s imperative to “play” about during an appearance on Stern’s popular radio show.

She tells Popeater.com, “I was joking. I have known Howard for years and when you agree to do his show you know you have to play.”
